Very nice mate and that colour is fantastic.

Recon it could do with a set of morrets to Finnish her off. But other than that she is a stunner


O and welcome to the mad house

The RSOC BB is good but it keeps breaking down and crashing.
is it true that PF is the biggest RS site?

No mate, I don't really like Auralis much . But you can't knock a stunning Escos though looks great, now please tell me you are going to use it, and not cry when it rains?

Did your brakes come from GGR by any chance?

I think Magenta saffs look shit too tbh. Auralis aint the rally slag colour I look for in an esc cos tbh
Dont take it away from this esc cos though, its a stunning example
